I’ve seen a few idiots defend it with “Well they were smuggling drugs.”
Would be interesting to see if they thought the same way if a foreign country started blowing up american boats, because they merely suspected they might be smugglers.
The answer is No. I know they’d be frothing shit out of their mouths.

The U.S. calling it a “strike,” Colombia calling it “murder.” Same event, two vocabularies — that’s how empires lose allies, not just headlines

JD Vance checking in to report that when it comes to our military bombing civilians, “boys will be boys!”, and we shouldn’t hold this one little incident against them.

Well they murdered ppl so they are correct.

Sadly they are correct. There is no other word for what Donald Trump authorized.

At this point it’s mass murder. Hesgeth and Trump are straight up serial killers. I don’t believe they have a shred of evidence against these people they’re randomly incinerating.

Obvious murder is obvious…

Yeah, that’s fair.

War crimes. I hope justice will be served to these criminals.

Seems very likely.

I don’t know why anyone is calling these anything but murder. With no evidence or due process this is straight up murder. Say it.

I used to run counter drug Ops in the Caribbean while in the navy from 2006 to 2010. Its was very procedural. LEDET had to be onboard cause technically the navy can’t arrest anyone in international waters. We chased down 40ft banana boats with 4 out board motors using SH-60 helicopter to shoot out the engine blocks. Hunted semi submersibles for days using P-3’s. I guess now it’s, blow them up.

The USA is blowing up small, non-military boats in the Caribbean. The US government officials claim the boats are criminals smuggling drugs. Even if there is proof that the people on the boats are involved in criminal activity (there has been none provided), targeting private vessels that are nowhere near your countries borders with military weapons seems like it would be considered some sort of war crime. But yes, the USA is murdering people without just cause, provocation, or threat.
We’re not with Agent Orange, take him, you can have him.

That’s rich. Petro murdered his political opponent yet claims the U.S. the ones committing it.

Not wrong.
Colombia is correct.

This is bad.
Finally!
***Presidentially directed murder.***
SCOTUS conservatives approved this message…
At least one of the bombed boats was a 2 motor fishing ship with technical problems that was adrift, and by the times the family calculates it might have been bombed in colombian waters, not international ones https://www.infobae.com/colombia/2025/10/18/una-de-las-lanchas-bombardeada-por-estados-unidos-seria-colombiana-un-pescador-murio-en-el-ataque-y-su-familia-pide-explicaciones/
